Hollyoaks star speaks out over sudden exit and says it’s a ‘massive shame’

By staff6 August 2025No Comments4 Mins Read

Hollyoaks viewers were in for a surprise today as the latest episode confirmed that Robbie Roscoe had been killed by Jez Blake weeks ago despite appearing to be alive since then

A Hollyoaks star has opened up about their unexpected departure from the soap opera. Viewers have been left stunned this week after it was revealed that a character had been killed off without fans realising until now.

Charlie Wernham, 30, made his first appearance as Robbie Roscoe on the Channel 4 show in 2013, before leaving in 2016. He returned last year and his character has now been killed off more than a decade since his debut on the soap.

Earlier this year, Robbie had taken prisoner by Jez Blake (played by Jeremy Sheffield), who decided to set him free from a shed in tonight’s episode. Robbie then walked through the village but couldn’t be seen by others, with it then revealed that he had been a figment of Jez’s imagination after he had murdered him weeks ago.

Viewers have shared their surprise over the storyline and now Charlie has spoken about his departure. He told the Sun: “It’s a massive shame to say goodbye to the character and not going to be able to play him anymore but to be fair, I didn’t think I’d ever get a chance to play him again.”

The actor said that he’s “very happy” that the opportunity to return presented itself. He added that he’s “quite satisfied” following the “quite interesting ending,” though admitted that it is “always sad” to finish a job like working on Hollyoaks.

Charlie hinted that his character could return in the future, though he told the outlet that Robbie is “gone” for now. He said that his exit storyline feels “special” but said it’s a “shame” to miss the show’s 30th anniversary in October.

Looking back on finding out about the storyline, he told Digital Spy: “Everyone was cautious, because I don’t remember this ever being done before. I was excited, though, because it’s something that I’d never done – and Robbie’s done everything there is to do! If you’re going to die on the show, it’s quite an interesting way of doing it – and I’m all for doing different things.”

Although it feels like “the final chapter” for his character, Charlie told the outlet that other characters have “died and come back”. He teased that “anything can happen,” though suggested he wouldn’t consider returning any time soon.

Viewers discovered that Robbie had been killed by Jez in today’s episode. He’d been imprisoned by the serial killer after previously being held captive by Grace Black (Tamara Wall). Jez was thought to have been hiding him in a shed.

The latest episode showed Jez telling Robbie that they both deserved to get a “happy ending” with their respective partners, so he had decided to let him go. Freed, Robbie then ran to his fiancée Vicky Grant (Anya Lawrence).

However, Vicky didn’t respond to Robbie, who tried speaking to her, and instead walked through him. It was then revealed in a flashback that Jez had killed him weeks ago but had continued to see ‘Robbie’ as a vision since then.

Hollyoaks airs Monday to Wednesday on E4 at 7pm and first look episodes can be streamed from 7am.
